More than enough space for one person. I compared during a two-night stay.

Experience of the stay
On the first night, I stayed in a superior twin room and on the second night in a standard double room.
I also wrote a story about the superior twin, but here I'm going to write about the 'standard double'.
★Access★
From Fukuoka City Subway 'Nakashukawabata Station' or 'Gofukumachi Station'.
In terms of distance, Gofukumachi Station is closer, about a 3-minute walk.
From Nakashukawabata Station, it’s a bit farther, but you can see Hakataza Theater. It’s about a 5-minute walk.
Either way, the access from the airport or Hakata Station is excellent.
Before check-in, there’s a self-locker area immediately to the left when you enter where you can store your suitcase.
I was able to easily deposit it using the dial type.
Check-in was handled at a counter with staff present.
Amenities are self-service.
On the first floor, there’s a lounge area where you can use a coffee machine.
★About the room★
- When entering the room, the light is not activated by inserting a card key, but instead by a switch.
- The superior twin had a separate shower room and toilet, while the standard double had them in one space.
- The washbasin in the superior twin was in the same space as the shower room, but the standard double had it outside.
- There’s a switch panel by the pillow with outlets and USB ports, so there should be no issues charging.
- The bed is spacious enough for one person to use comfortably.
- The clock and speaker in the room can connect to Bluetooth, allowing you to link it with your smartphone.
- Other amenities such as a refrigerator and kettle are also adequately provided.
Compared to the twin room, the double room also had more than enough space, allowing for a comfortable stay.
Its access from the airport and Hakata Station is excellent, and I think it’s perfect for solo travelers.
There are several convenience stores nearby, making it convenient to pop out to buy food or drinks.
Check-out is at 11 a.m., so it's recommended for those who want to relax.
Experiences during the trip
On the night of this day, I enjoyed ramen from the famous shop 'shinshin'. As expected from a popular store, there was quite a line, but it was worth the wait for delicious ramen.
The next day, I rented a car and first headed to Itoshima, visiting 'Tsukamoto Seafood Shop'.
I had a seafood bowl, abalone, and nodoguro. Although it was more than enough food for one person, it was so delicious that I finished it all. It also looked great in photos.
After that, I returned to Fukuoka city and headed to Shikanoshima.
The view of the sea from Shikanoshima was very beautiful, and being from a landlocked prefecture, I was truly moved.
There is a place called Shiohama Park in the interior of the island, which may be a hidden gem, but it offers a stunning view of the Sea of Genkai and downtown Fukuoka.
At the entrance of the island, there’s Shika Shrine, where you can overlook the sea from the main hall.
There are many restaurants scattered around, and it’s a recommendable island you can access by car.
After that, I went to Dazaifu City and visited Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. It was bustling with many people, both Japanese and foreigners.
There are many shops lined up along the approach, and while there are many places to eat as you walk around, the specialty is Umegae Mochi, which you can easily eat at a reasonable price. It was delicious.
With an airport in the city, Fukuoka is exceptionally accessible and offers stunning views and gourmet food, making it highly recommended for first-time solo travelers and families alike!
